1970s artistic menswear · geometric modernist prints
A men's long-sleeved dress shirt in lightweight printed cotton featuring an abstract geometric pattern in blues, grays, and white. The shirt displays a classic pointed collar and front button placket with what appears to be mother-of-pearl or white buttons. The sleeves are full-length with button cuffs. The all-over print consists of irregular angular shapes and linear elements creating a modern, artistic design typical of 1970s menswear. The relaxed cut and artistic print reflect the era's move toward more expressive, less conservative men's fashion, bridging formal shirting with the decade's embrace of pattern and color in masculine dress.
